Brown Eyed Susan Prize Giveaway

Posted on February 23, 2018 Posted in Patterns

This week on the blog, we celebrate the release of our most popular pattern from Juju’s Loops ~ Brown Eyed Susan and share some Uncommon Thread love with a prize giveaway.

We have a Pom Pom trunk show in store and some more EYF news to share, so read on!

Brown Eyed Susan

Brown Eyed Susan was the cover knit and most popular pattern from our book Juju’s Loops. We auctioned off the last copy of Juju’s Loops at the beginning of the new year. There are no more books left!

However, we’ve published a few of the patterns as individuals, such as the Cedar Shake Mitts, and the Oak Knot Hat. Now, Brown Eyed Susan will join them as a printed pattern and a PDF download.

Brown-Eyed Susan is a crescent-shaped shawl with petal pleats at the bottom edge. It can be knit in one solid colour, striped with a matching or contrast colour petal pleat border, or given a “brown eye” by knitting the first 23 rows in a solid colour.

Our newest sample should really be called “Green Eyed Susan”. It’s knit in Uncommon Thread BFL Singles; Fjord and Avocat (two of the five new colours from Uncommon Thread). This large sized sample took 134g of Fjord and 56g of Avocat, but a smaller version can be made from under 100g of each!

Brown Eyed Susan comes in two sizes: We’ve made the larger version above. You can see our project details on Ravelry here.

Pom Pom Trunk Show

The new Spring issue of Pom Pom Quarterly is in the shop now! Pom Pom have been kind enough to lend us their samples for a trunk show. Come in to the shop, check them out or try them on! The trunk show will be in Loop from today (February 23rd) until Sunday March 11th.

We love the cover sweater, Durumi designed by Isabell Kraemer, which uses the gorgeous Daruma Genmou DK. It’s very soft and lofty. Perfect for a cool spring day!

Edinburgh Yarn Festival 2018

We’ll bring a range of our most recent patterns to Edinburgh. We know many of you love to cast on while you’re visiting Edinburgh, and need a printed pattern to get on with. You can expect to see Brown Eyed Susan, Pinwheel Mitts and some special kits we have planned.

We love Uncommon Thread BFL Singles. The wool is from Bluefaced Leicester sheep, native to UK, and the dyeing is done by Ce Persiano in her Sussex studio. Naturally the BFL will accompany us To EYF!

Ce will be our guest of honour, on our stand (E5), on Friday and Saturday each day from 2:00-3:00. Please come and meet her!

Last week, we celebrated our road trip to Edinburgh with a prize giveaway of a bundle of Mette Mehlsen Plant Dyed Wool on Instagram!

We randomly chose a winner from Instagram. The winner is Amanda Price! Congratulations, We’ll contact you for your shipping address and get those out to you!

This week (and every week before EYF) we have another prize giveaway! In celebration of our new version of Brown Eyed Susan and Five New Colours of Uncommon Thread, we’re offering a copy of the pattern and a skein each of Uncommon Thread, BFL Singles in Fjord and Avocat ~ enough to make the smaller size of Brown Eyed Susan.

There are two ways to win! You can do both, if you want to double your chances!
